Title:	Telescopic
Label:	DRAG CITY
Format:	LP
Price:	$11.00
Catalog #:	DC 150LP

LP version. "Edith, possessed of such a very lovely voice, it's true, here turns in a sophomore effort that goes way beyond all previously established boundaries. Telescopic ups the ante on here soulful folk-tunes, filling out the curves and arcs of her body of work with colorful arrangements of guitars, acoustic and electric bass, piano, synthesizer, mandolin, accordion, drums and percussion, cello and violin, and just for good measure, a flute! It is psychedelic Edith, really -- brightly colored, neo-rootsy and vibrantly tuneful."

Catalog #:	DC 209CD

"Do you hear that gentle sound? It must be time to breathe again. Edith Frost is finally back among us, with 41 minutes of stellar new tunes. People often remark that Edith Frost is a pure country singer. And while we here at Drag City prefer not to confirm or deny such country pigeonholing (what, me -- country?), we'd have to say that Edith Frost's music is a genuinely laid-back, down-home kind of thing, but in an oddly tripped-out fashion. Whether she's singing country music or not -- which she mostly isn't, on Wonder Wonder anyway -- roots are still roots yuh cain't cut 'em away. And the LSD certainly helps here. The point is, in her short five years of making records, Edith Frost has taken great strides into the far-flung field of pop music. Whether she's on about attraction or love lost, optimism or mistrust, Edith's purty (irony, not illiteracy, people!) voice and wild lyrics cut to the truth of the circumstances, truth seen clearly through a mellow haze of pure wonder. And Acapulco Gold."

Title:	It's a Game
Label:	DRAG CITY
Format:	CD
Price:	$13.50
Catalog #:	DC 301CD

"Edith Frost is back from a four-year canter through the wilderness. She's been called a chanteuse and a country torch singer -- but Edith's style of writing, singing and playing is all that and more. Since 1996, she's honed her song craft on a series of Drag City releases -- starting with a self-titled, home-recorded EP and a subsequent trio of acclaimed albums, each of which presented a unique setting, turning Edith subtly away from the country underpinnings of her songs. Since Edith Frost's 'country' has many roots -- country, folk, blues and soul, tin-pan alley and jazz -- this makes the eclectic nature of her discography a natural thing. It's a Game features the playing talents of Josh Abrams (Prefuse 73), Lindsay Anderson (L'Altra), Azita, Dave 'Max' Crawford (The Mekons), John Hasbrouck, Emmett Kelly and Jason Toth (The Zincs, Manishevitz)."
